| This little episode happened last spring. I ran across the pictures when I was going through my files and thought I’d share it with you, Internets.It was a lovely warm spring day. The rain had ended and there was a perfect puddle waiting at the end of the driveway for Captain Earthquake and The Manager. Being boys who were 4, they were out the door as soon as they spotted the puddle. Hubby was able to snap pictures without their noticing right away. Gotta love that zoom lens. |
 |
| It all started out well enough, with plenty of splash room for everyone. |
 |
| The Captain got right into the swing of things. The Manager, on the other hand is a more particular fellow. He likes a clean hand. |
 |
| Oh look. He’s warming up to the mud. |
 |
| Ummmm……. |
 |
| Wait a minute. Is he doing what I think he’s doing?? |
 |
| Yep. And he pats it in for good measure. |
 |
| Apparently the Captain doesn’t mind. |
 |
| Nope. Doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he had already landed in the water a few minutes earlier. To our knowledge, he never realized that he was a crime victim that day. |
 |
| Whoops. Camera spotted. |

🙂 I’m just the messenger.
Amy, this is really funny and adorable – glad you had your camera out and captured it. Thanks for sharing with us! 🙂
This is so sweet. I just spent an afternoon this week taking pictures of my 17 year old and his 3 friends taking snowboard jumps off an old freezer we have being towed behind our snowmobile. But then they thought they should do dives off the top of a building we have into the snow.
Who knows what would have been next if I hadn’t caught them. I didn’t get that on film but they did, they were filming with the video camera.
Somehow I get the feeling that you have a few of those days ahead of you :0)
Awwww… that’s just the cutest! Thanks for the smile!
The joys of a puddle. How adorable. What a great action moment and life memory. I love it.
@JoLynn: Yes, I’m learning the value of taking lots of pictures. The boys are getting used to it as well, lol. They tend to be pretty camera shy.
@Jan: I know I know, this is only the tiniest beginning of the craziness. Boys!
PreSchool Mama and Cindy: Thanks for stopping by! I think they’re mighty cute myself.
That was very cute of them.
Thanks for sharing this happy moment with us. 🙂
